Nikka Single Malt Yoichi Distillery with Apple Brandy Barrel Finish 750ml
Vital Stats: 94 proof, 47% ABV. Aged over six months in apple brandy barrels. ~ $253 per 750ml bottle.
Appearance: I could scarcely notice a difference between the two whiskys. With the use of a white card and extra light, could see that the Yoichi was ever so slightly darker than it’s companion. In the glass, legs were longer and more prevalent.
Nose: A bit more heat for sure. The fruit elements were more straightforward, but accompanied by the floral presence as well.
Palate: In regards to fruit, there’s a sense of fresh pair mixed with honeydew. As with the previous selection, there was a mild peat element, but in this case, even more subtle. Very simple whisky with a light body and short finish.
Score: 3.5/5
